Well, hello there! (you’re still there right?) Sorry I’ve been M.I.A., it’s not that I haven’t had anything to say, or that life has kept me busy (although it has but not enough to keep me away from this blog)…. Truth is, my beloved Mac Book died almost a month ago. To be exact, my boyfriend drowned it in chocolate milk =(
It was an accident, but it really broke my heart. I worked so hard to buy my limited edition aluminum body Mac Book! I was able to recover all my files, but just the thought of losing something you really worked hard for is really sad.
A new computer was not part of our budget, and so I told my mom I was going to need my old iBook G4 back I left home for her to use, just so I could at least check my email. This computer is so outdated and slow that makes it almost impossible to upload pictures and post something good.
However, we learned about this great recycling program that Apple has! They basically give you money for something you would throw in the trash. You send your old computer, (they send you paid postage!) even if it doesn’t work, they work on a quote with you and then send you an Apple gift card for that amount! They also take PCs, Ipods, and mobile phones. It’s a great way to be green and thanks to this we were able to get a refurbished Mac Book Pro. =D
I’ve been checking the Fed Ex tracking site since we placed the order, and today it finally said “On FedEx vehicle for delivery” I’m sitting by the door just waiting for my new computer to get here!
I might just hug the delivery guy when he gets here ;)
I’ll be back very pronto!

ReplyDeletewelcome back from the break!
ReplyDeletethat program sounds like something we could use. we have a mac cemetery in my house as we are totally part of the mac cult. i'd be interested to know if they give you back a decent amount of if its just nominal. in any case, i'm gonna check it out. thanks for sharing!
@La Cabrona: thanks! It feels nice to be back =D
ReplyDelete@Cynthia: you should def. take advantage of that! I regret not knowing about it before, we've thrown away a couple of macs. They gave us $400 for ours, which I thought was good. Better than nothing!
